needtheater presents the LA Premiere of the off-Broadway hit The Nuclear Family. A completely spontaneous musical! When you peel back the curtains on the average American family who knows what you'll see? Mommy hates Daddy... Sonny's got a secret... Susie's got a 3-octave range, an incredible high kick and an attitude... Kind of like your family, but with 200 wigs and a pianist. The Nuclear Family is an incredible fully-improvised musical made up on the spot: music, lyrics and choreography. A unique brand of improvised theater.

"...physical and farcical, lively and good natured..." - The New York Times

"Fall out of your chair hilarious...scruffy treat of a musical... low budget, messy, and twice as vital as most choreographed Broadway juggernauts..." - The Associated Press

"...frothy, an endearing fusion of musical theatre, improv and stand-up..."- Time Out NY

"The cast's ad hoc plotlines are goofily inventive enough to be impressive and funny, but still chaotic enough to convince us that the performers really are doing it on the fly..." - NY Newsday
